Wednesday night, we not only had an MLB umpire blowing a perfect game for Tigers pitcher Armando Galarrgga, but apparently the NHL Stanley Cup referees were also out of it. The problem is the missed calls were not limited to Game 3 of the series …
A lot of people don’t like the Flyers. That comes with the territory of being a Philadelphia team, in the same way it does with Boston, New York and sometimes even Chicago teams. People hate the teams where the fans are the craziest and most …
